PToIle CourtiWOuIu not interfere ana
the general impression among them
Is that the sentence will be carried
into effect November 1lth. The senti-

At the result of the hearing before the
supreme court. Captain Buckley
said: $50 the supreme court has up
held the right OF the United States
verdict and the nst decision of the
state court. II is II retribution for the
murder of the officers, whose wives
are. widows and children orphans. 1

not interfere" This, in fact, is the
expression Of sentiment of all police
officials, Z = n isS T.
This afternoon u small boy appeared
at one of the most prominent down
town corners, provided with IL supply
OF pamphlets containing M, NJ, Trum-
bulls appeal to Governor Oglesby in
behalf Of the condemned anarchists.
Officer Birmingham quickly put the
boy to fight. There is nothing sedi.
tious about the pamphlet, il being
merely Trumbull's speech. 1t is bound
brilliantly and entitled, "Was it II Fair
Trial? An Appeal to the Governor Of
Illinois in Behalf of the Condemned
Anarchists" The sergeant Of the
central police detail said the officer
acted on his own judgment. ale was
probably mislead by the general style
Of the title" the sergeant added "but
think it is much better ut the present
time that circulars of this character be
stopped, as it can only stir up people
without doing any good"
The only persons, except relations,
who have had any extended conversa-
ton with the condemned men to-day
were M. w. Salter, lecturer, and III.
ID. Lloyd, IL newspaper editorial writer.
They were in earnest conversation at
the cell doors for two hours. The Wis
itors said the significance Of their visit
would develope in few days. Mr..
Salter said Fielden had stated he was
misrepresented when II local paper
made him say "he would not ask Gov
ernor Oylesby to pardon him." BY that
IL is understood Fielden will ask for
commutatiun OF sentence.
Capt. Black said to reporter this
event. & that he was disappointed but
not surprised at the action OF the su.
preme couit, us they were clearly en-.
titled to II writ of error. Capt. Black
and II large party will go to Springfield
next Tuesday to present IL petition
for commutation to the governor. Ex-
Governor Palmer this evening said to
II reporter that lac did not believe Gov
eanor Oglesby would interfere with the
execution of the courts sentence up
on the condemned men. "Tbe high
est courts in the land" said Governor
Palmer, "have decreed this verdict u
Just one. Governor Oglesby is not
going to be swerved in his duty by n
tritling consideration. AS far as the
idea of its being inhuman to hang
these men, i can sec no sense in that
They killed several policemen, didn't
they? and wounded many more? Was
that humanity?"
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Nov. 2.-There is
absolutely nothing to be said as to the
probable action OF the governor in
the condemned anarchists case, as his
excellrncy declines to say anything on
the subject. The decision of the
United States supreme court was made
known to him shortly before noon to.
day and his features at once assumed
an expression of real gravity. He re-
ceived number of letters and peti.
tions on the subject to-day, and it is
asserted that three Chicago ladies
visited him in the interest of the con-
demned men. The feeling is. almost
universal here that he will not inter
fere with the sentence of the court
That the conditions are such that he
cannot.
